Nina Winthrop formed her company, Nina Winthrop and Dancers, in 1991. Her works have been presented in venues throughout New York and Los Angeles, including Danspace Project, Joyce SoHo, Brooklyn Academy of Music, Movement Research at the Judson Church, Mabou Mines’ Toronada Theater at PS 122, Basilica Hudson and The Flea Theater. Her dance films have been screened in the US and abroad.

Winthrop is the curator of Dance Conversations @ The Flea, a free monthly performance and discussion series. She also curated the dance film showcase Dance on Film/Film on Dance at Symphony Space in 2004. She was awarded a Bessie Schönberg Choreographers’ Residency at The Yard in 2004, a Dancenow/NYC’s Silo Artist Residency in 2005, and participated in the Schönberg Choreographers Lab at DTW in 2005.

Nina Winthrop has received critical acclaim from reviewers and audience members. Her unique style has been described by the New York Times as “darkly expressive,” by On & Off as “stunning” and “seductive.” The Village Voice said of CUMULUS: “Knockout dances…ordinary moves performed with such investment they might be sacred dance.”

What artists are saying

Where should I begin? Performance Mix provided a consistent (year after year after year!) performance venue for works in progress that was just the right mix of openness and curation. Audiences were always plentiful and varied, not the usual downtown dance scene in crowd but truly filled with different sorts of people. Performance Mix also provided employment in the form of teaching in the public schools which was a lot of work for you, and a little much needed income for me. You’ve always been out there making opportunities for others. It made a huge difference in the arc of my career.

—Clare Maxwell, dancer/teacher of the Alexander Technique (New York City)
